Answer:
$4540.19
Explanation:
Step 1: Get the formula for the value of the bond in 2018
Formula= P * (1+r)n
P= Investment = $5000
r= Coupon rate=6%
n= Period or number of years = 6 years
Step 2: Calculate the value of the bond in 2018
Value of the bond in 2018= 5000 * (1+ 0.06)6
= 7092.60
Step 3: Calculate the Present value of the bond
Formula= (P x Present Value Factor) + (Interest x The present value interest factor of an annuity (PVIFA))
(P x Present Value Factor) = (5000 x 1\(1+r)^n)
where r= rate of return= 8%
n= years = 6
(Interest x The present value interest factor of an annuity (PVIFA) =
Interest = (Coupon rate x Investment)
PVIFA= 1\(1+r)^n}
where r= rate of return= 8%
n= years = 6
= (5000 x 0.6307) + (300 x 4.6223
)
=4540.19
